Equipment
The Three-Dimensional Reaction System includes a 44-ft by 32-ft strong floor with 19-ft buttressed walls along the east and south edges. Bolt patterns in the floor and walls are 4-ft on center. The capacities of the tie-down groups are 100 kip for the walls, 200 kip for the floor, and 300 kip for the buttresses.
The Structural Test Floor is 140-ft by 40-ft. Bolt patterns in the floor are 4-ft on center and each tie-down group is capable of resisting 125 kip.
The Fatigue Test Slab is 60-ft by 30-ft. Hole patterns vary in the slab, but are typically 4-ft on center.
The High-Temperature Test Facility includes three MTS uniaxial test frames with capacities of 22 kip, 220 kip, and 550 kip. The environment chambers are capable of reaching temperatures up to 1600 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Large-Scale Beam Test Facility can accommodate spans of 21-ft maximum applied loads of 4 million pounds.
